So if you want to play multiplayer, you have to use those 2 little controllers?

I'm going to guess that wireless controllers can be bluetoothed in fairly easily. The couch co-op play is something that modern systems have but don't really highlight in their arsenal of games. I'm hoping Nintendo is going to change that.

Will also guess that the Virtual Console will continue to exist and bring forward all of your Wii purchases as well.

More adult-oriented. Love the mobility of the system, seems to run off Bluetooth or something as well vs. having all kinds of cords. The question will be how deep in software, including open source, the system will be allowed to platform.

Controllers look a wii (see what I did there) bit small though... then again, the old school Nintendo controllers were tiny and I put wayyyy too many hours into that. Still kind believe my controllers didn't turn into plasma with as much button-mashing as I did.

I like that Nintendo is unifying their handheld and home console. The 3DS is a damn gold mine of classic titles - and if we get to see those type of projects on this device (and I imagine we will), this will be fantastic.

One of many who is too boring; thinks that there should be rules regarding grammar in custom user titles, and also makes moderators wonder if there is a charachter limit here. I mean come on- you would think that would be a limitation in the software

I think that part is really targeted towards a Japanese audience.

That said, if they pull off a Pokemon Go-esque killer app for this thing, you could end up with people carrying it around.

Could you imagine Mario and Zelda both for its release??

And Splat2n. Nintendo would be wise to have all three as launch titles.
